Red Robin “Tip-A-Cop” Event

 

Saturday, April 18, 2009

 

Law Enforcement Torch Run Fundraiser

for Special Olympics Oregon!

 

  • Law enforcement personnel act as “Celebrity Wait Staff” along with Red Robin wait staff and interact with restaurant patrons.
  • Tip-A-Cop generates tremendous community goodwill and public awareness for Law Enforcement and Special Olympics. 
  • Tip-A-Cop is a ‘no risk,’ easy and fun way for Law Enforcement to raise money for Special Olympics athletes!
  • The goal of the 2009 Red Robin “Tip-A-Cop” event is to raise $50,000!
  • Law Enforcement volunteers do not serve alcohol, however they do assist with a variety of serving duties! 
  • The tips that the officers solicit are in addition to what the customers leave for their regular server.
